Gosh it feels like forever since we did a weekly roundup! It was quite liberating to take a wee break and now have come back full of energy and great finds! Now for the big announcement we’ve been waiting to share…
What a year it has been for Toodles Noodles – we have seen significant growth and are still overwhelmed and humbled that our products and designs are so well received. All of this wouldn’t have been possible without your help!
As some of you may be aware, at the moment Toodles is my passion, and is done alongside being a full-time graphic designer for another company. It has been a challenging year of dividing my time and attention to both companies, with much of Toodles Noodles work being done during the evenings and weekends – but it has all been worth it.
With that, I am extremely excited to announce that as of the New Year, I will be working full-time for Toodles Noodles! Now what does this mean for you? More attention, new designs and products coming out on a regular basis, and the opportunity to do bespoke work – just for you!
My partner and I have bought our first home (yay!) and are moving to the countryside. I’ll now be located about 2 hours outside of Auckland and have a view of rolling hills outside my new office windows. Trips to Auckland will be often as you couldn’t keep me away from all the amazing markets, restaurants, and people.
I am extremely excited about this new chapter of my and Toodles Noodles’ life.
Just as a reminder here are the markets we will be attending for the rest of the year before we close up shop for the move.

Happy weekend everyone! Oh, I’ll be back in Christchurch for the next week and a half, so if you’re around make sure to connect and say hi!
This last weekend we attended our first Matakana Indie Market! Located only 45 minutes out of Auckland City, this picturesque village instantly brings a smile to my face. Surrounded by beautiful farmland, cute vintage buildings, and wineries – no wonder this place has become a big hotspot. Sunday turned out to be a beautiful winter’s day – the sun was shining, lot’s of people out and about, and friendly smiley faces everywhere you turned.
We had an absolute blast and can’t wait to do another one in Summer. Here are a few shots we were able to take on the day.
